To John and Jackie , Lorraine Parker, and Deb's Sisters,
I am saddened to read of Deb's passing. I met her at Oakdale School when Jackie was a student in my class. She was a wonderful person. I have no words to adequately express the sorrow I feel for all the family. May many memories of happy times spent together help you through this difficult time. May God Bless you all and gently hold you in His arms to help comfort you.
Love and prayers to all,
